We’ve got one game left for Week 16 of the 2025/’26 NFL season. This week’s Monday Night Football features the San Francisco 49ers visiting the Indianapolis Colts. The 49ers are 10-4, but in third place in a hyper-competitive NFC West. They have three games to move up the rankings. Phillip Rivers came out of retirement last week, and didn’t get killed on the field! He’s up to start again today, and this week might not go as smoothly.

Who: San Francisco 49ers (10-4) at Indianapolis Colts (8-6)

Where: Lucas Oil Stadium | Indianapolis, IN

The Washington Commanders made a few roster moves earlier this morning, and have reportedly made four more this afternoon. Adam Schefter reports they have claimed veteran nose tackle Shy Tuttle off waivers from the Tennessee Titans. He was released two days, and will now join a defensive line that has dealt with a lot of injuries this season. Eddie Goldman missed last week due to a concussion, and he didn’t practice today and has been placed on IR. Daron Payne is also listed with a back injury, but is likely to suit up on Christmas day vs the Cowboys.

The Washington Commanders held their first practice of a shortened week as they prepare to host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Christmas day. The team made a pair of roster moves to deal with injuries earlier today. Marcus Mariota had stitches in his hand, and is also dealing with a quad injury from Saturday’s game against the Eagles. The Commanders claimed Jeff Driskel off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad, bringing him back to the team he was QB3 for last season. Mariota is day-to-day and has swelling in his hand so Josh Johnson will get the majority of the snaps...

Dan Quinn spoke to the media before today’s practice. The team announced they were signing QB Jeff Driskel off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad due to Marcus Mariota’s hand and quad injuries. He didn’t give an update on Mariota’s potential availability for the Cowboys game on Christmas day(Thursday). Josh Johnson will get the majority of snaps this week, but Quinn said Driskel is familiar with the system for his time as QB3 last season.

The Washington Commanders are reportedly signing QB Jeff Driskel from the Arizona Cardinals practice squad. Marcus Mariota is day-to-day with hand and quad injuries, and Jayden Daniels has been shut down for the season. Josh Johnson is the only other QB on the 53-man roster, and Sam Hartman is available on the practice squad.

Dan Quinn said yesterday that the team could look to sign another QB, and Driskel was the most logical choice. He was the team’s third-string QB last season, but wasn’t re-signed. He played one snap for Washington during the regular season, and was on the...

Can the Commanders evaluate for next year? Not if everyone’s injured.

Washington has two games left. Just getting through them would be a success at this point.

[T]he coaching staff and front office believe the final stretch holds value as they evaluate the roster for 2026. For them to do so, however, they need players to be available. As has been the case for most of the season, that has been an issue.

The Washington Commanders hosted the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday, and were defeated 29-18. That loss dropped them to 4-11 for the season, with two games left to play. With Washington out of playoff contention, fan focus has turned to next year’s draft, and where the team will be picking next April. The Commanders were projected to have the No. 8 overall pick entering Week 16, but dropped one spot to No. 7 with their loss to the Eagles yesterday. The Saints and the Bengals both won today which ensured that Washington would stay in the better draft position.

The Washington Commanders lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday, and possibly lost Marcus Marcus Mariota to injury. He was cleared of a concussion, but also suffered hand and quad injuries. He’s day-to-day, but with the Commanders playing again on Sunday, we could see more of Josh Johnson at QB. Head coach Dan Quinn said they have the options of elevating Sam Hartman, or signing another QB. Either way, if Mariota can’t play on Christmas Day, it’s going to be a rough game to watch.

Week 16 is not over yet, we’ve got one more game to watch on Sunday. The New England Patriots are visiting the Baltimore Ravens in a game that will have big implications for the AFC playoffs. The Patriots were on an 10-game winning streak until the Buffalo Bills came back from a 21-point deficit to beat them last week. The Ravens are fighting for their division and a spot in the playoffs. Can Drake Maye continue his excellent second season and lead his team past Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?

Dan Quinn spoke to reporters for what’s normally “Tell the Truth Monday”, but it’s on a Sunday due to the game yesterday against the Eagles. The Washington Commanders are on another short week, and have to start preparing for Thursday’s Christmas Day game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Injuries have been the story of the season, and that continues in the final weeks. Marcus Mariota has been filling in at starter with Jayden Daniels shut down for the season, but now he is dealing with his own injury issues. He left the game yesterday with a possible concussion and a hand...

The Washington Commanders hosted the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday, and lost 29-18. The NFL had two games yesterday, but there are still a few more games to watch tonight.

Fox has two games, and the big game is the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting the Denver Broncos who have won 11 games in a row. The Jaguars are 10-4 and sitting atop the AFC South with Houston Texans only a game behind. The second game has Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons going west to play the Arizona Cardinals.

No one expected the Commanders to beat the Eagles on Saturday night, but with that said, there were times in this game where our second and third teamers held their own against a far superior football team.

The Refs were on the Eagles side and made their job a bit easier, but despite that, Quinn’s group fought until the end with the journeyman Josh Johnson taking over and backups on top of backups on the field. The result was a 29-18 home loss with two games remaining in this miserable season – one more against this same Eagles team.
